BBN’s Boomerang a vehicle-mounted anti-sniper system that uses sound localization to quickly target enemy snipers and direct return fire. This was the first real advance in finding a firing solution against a sniper in near real time.

This kinda feels like over thinking the situation..
The average sniper shooting range is under a half mile.

I would think infrared or some type of thermal sensors would pick out a sniper at that distance.
